Chapter 518 The City of Neil, which is short of food
In the more than a month since Zhenhuang raised troops to regain the lost territory, the Jiang forces in the Snow Country have not been idle.
As early as more than a month ago, Jiangzhi's forces besieged Neil City and established a simple siege around the city.
Although the strength of the Jiang forces is not large, the density of troops deployed is also very low, and there are only a few soldiers every ten meters. But even so, the Frisha of Neil City still cowered in the city, only defending. He still remembers Li Ziru's order, that is, to delay as much time as possible, instead of hitting it hard. Besides, the quality of the soldiers of the Jiang Zhi forces is too high, and there is no chance of winning in a real fight.
And the strange thing is that Jiang Zhi's forces do not attack strongly, and seem to intend to adopt a policy of besieging but not attacking, and wait for the internal resources of Neil City to run out.
On the 203rd day of the last days, Frisha sat at the east gate of the city of Nier, crossed his legs, and looked at the surrounding camp opposite while munching on a large ham.
"There is no movement at all, and it seems that today can pass without worry." Fu Liesha very comfortably tore off the pieces of meat.
Vice General Chen, who was next to Fu Liesha, said: "Regiment Commander, there is not much food in Neil City anymore. ”
Neil City, the area is equivalent to the area of two Wangcheng, but the overall resources are less than one-ten-thousandth of Wangcheng. Because Neil City was built directly in the metropolis, it was not self-sufficient, and all resources were collected and transported into the city through outside the city.
Originally, Neil City had accumulated countless resources of all kinds, but later due to the Great Transfer, most of the resources and population were all transferred, and there was not much food and resources left in the city.
And Neil now has a population of about 1 million, 500,000 soldiers, and 500,000 laborers and civilians. The food and animals in the city can be said to be eaten for one day, and one day less.
"How long will it last?" Freisha asked.
"It can last about a week at most, and then the soldiers will be hungry." Vice Admiral Chen replied.
"Good for you Suko night," Fu Liesha stared at the surrounding camp outside the city, "the wishful thinking is really good, and he wants to starve us to death without a single soldier." ”
"What should we do?" Vice Admiral Chen asked.
"Don't panic, Li Ziru's order to me is to delay as much time as possible. You see, I've been delaying for a month now, and I haven't lost a single soldier, haha, I completed my mission so easily. Fu Liesha said proudly.
"Yes, the regimental commander is wise." Vice General Chen said good things on his mouth, but he actually cursed in his heart: Is there a disease? I asked you what to do, and I even boasted about myself.
"It's not wrong for me to concentrate the elites and armies of the Snow Country in Neil City, in the past month, they will only engage in some harassment wars, and they don't dare to attack at all." Frisha is still boasting about herself.
"The head of the regiment is indeed wise, but ...... What's next for us? "Vice General Chen couldn't help it, the food was running out, and Fu Liesha was still proud of how wise and powerful he was.
"Keep holding on and delay for another week or so." Friedsha finally got to the point.
"But, what about a week from now?"
"Well, let me think about it." Freisha fell into deep thought.
After a few minutes, Fu Liesha said to Vice General Chen: "Well, if there is not enough food, kill the civilians and laborers for food." ”
Vice General Chen was shocked when he heard this: "I can't help it, our soldiers can't tolerate this kind of thing." As a higher animal, human beings will never be reduced to eating their compatriots unless they have to. ”
Vice General Chen cursed in his heart: This Fu Lisha is simply a brute. Even if you call civilians as slaves, you want to kill them to satisfy your hunger.
"You've said it all, higher animals. No matter how advanced, he is also an animal. Since it is an animal, it can be eaten. Frisha replied.
"I really can't help it, the soldiers will definitely not accept it in their hearts." Vice Chan will continue to persuade.
Vice General Chen cursed frantically in his heart: Speaking so lightly, why don't you slaughter and eat you, you dwarf hybrid.
In fact, there are many people who look down on Fu Liesha very much in their hearts. He's not a purebred Snow Countryer, he's a half-blood, and he's a dwarf. He is only about 1.5 meters tall, which is considered a dwarf winter melon. A most ordinary soldier, about 1.8 meters, looks heroic and sassy, tall and big. And Fu Liesha, as the commander of the army, is ugly in appearance and short in stature.
What's even more unpleasant is that Fu Liesha is very cowardly and cunning. Although he has established countless combat exploits, he has relied on sneak attacks and ambushes to shadow the other party every time, and he has no discipline at all.
For example, in the past month or so, Fu Liesha has been scolded by the enemy's soldiers to the point of blood, and his ancestors have been scolded all over, but he just doesn't go out of the city to face the battle, and he must retreat in the city.
Many lieutenants couldn't stand it anymore, but Fu Liesha was able to calm down. Once a lieutenant general is disobedient and wants to go out of the city to fight, Frisha will break the lieutenant's leg and make an example of the monkey.
When Fu Liesha saw Vice General Chen persuading him, he scolded: "You let the butchers secretly slaughter the laborers, and those soldiers don't know what kind of meat this is." ”
"Yes...... But...... Commander, for example, what if all the civilians and laborers died? Even if we kill them all, we will only last a few days, after all, we have 500,000 soldiers. "Vice Admiral Chen intends to use an alternative way of persuasion.
"Oh, that makes sense, these civilians can't help eating at all." Fu Lisha suddenly realized.
"yes, so this is not a cure for the symptoms at all, I actually have an idea." Vice Admiral Chen said tentatively.
"Oh, let's hear it."
"Since you have been dragging Jiang Zhi's forces for more than a month, presumably our transport brigade has already been successfully transferred to the imperial capital. I don't think we need to spend it all the time, it's better to fight head-on with Jiang Zhi's forces, it's best to win, if we can't win, let's retreat, give up Neil City, anyway, Neil City's resources are already very small, and there is not much value. ”
"Oh," Frisha let out a long oh, "yes, good idea. Then let's tentatively plan to attack in three days, and now let the soldiers prepare first. ”
Vice General Chen was secretly happy in his heart: finally there is no need to kill civilians, finally there is no need to be so cowardly, and when this battle is over, if he can live, he will not be Fu Liesha's deputy general again.
On the other side, inside the camp around the city.
A scout hurried into Suko's tent.
"Reporting, we are observing more frequent activity in Neil City and appear to be preparing."
"Understood, you go down first."
After the scout left, another man walked into the camp, and he was Yuwen Xuan, one of the Five Tigers.
Su Kouye was very happy when she saw Yuwen extinguished: "How is it?" Is everything going well? ”
"Of course, the southern part of the Snow Country has been fully occupied."
"Great, who else is coming back with you?"
"At present, I am the only one, because we have a very rich harvest this time, and we have chased a lot of materials and resources, and the other four tigers are escorting supplies to this side."
"Well, I hope they will come back soon." Su Koye frowned.
